In our office pens tend to disappear quickly, this provides the convenience of a pen in a way that is tasteful. It holds up for quite a long time and saves us from replacing pens that people walk off with. However, they are broken fairly easily by children that mess with them.

We ordered these thinking they would be great and easy to change out when needed. Quill does not sell any refills. What we ended up doing was taking the ink out of other regular medium ball point quill pens and using those. Doesn't look nice, but its cheaper than buying a new pen with chain, just for the ink. As others have said, the ink runs out pretty quickly.
